The Covenant Concept In Old Testament Theology-, Edwin C. Sohn

Bachelor of Divinity

The Covenant of God with man represents in the Old Testament the closest possible relationship. It is the heart of a movement of God downwards. In its massive sweep across the Old Testament it marks the center of history and religion.

The Concept Of Holiness In Ezekiel, Paul W. Stanko

The Counter-Reformation In The Netherlands, Herman Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

By way of introduction to this Thesis I would like to retell the story of the funeral services for Charles V in Brussels. On December.29, 1558 the procession of three thousand monks, priests, nobles, and bishops passed through the streets of Brussels. There were banners, flags, and floats representing the emperor's achievements. Also the quiet symbol of departed power, twenty-four riderless horses bearing the arms of a kingdom or a duchy over which the dead man had reigned.

The Doctrine Of The Resurrection Of The Body As Taught In The Pauline Espistles, Norbert Becker

Bachelor of Divinity

It is our purpose to present the entire teaching of Paul on the fundamental doctrine of the resurrection. In the course of the positive presentation of Paul's teaching it will become clear that he nowhere contradicts himself but that he is consistent throughout. It will also become evident that Paul's doctrine of the resurrection is in complete harmony with the teachings of Jesus and with other parts of Scripture. When we speak of Pauline theology, therefore, we simply refer to the doctrines contained in Paul's epistles.

The Major Premises Of Premillennialism In The Light Of Scripture, William F. Siefkes

Bachelor of Divinity

Throughout the ages men have dreamed of an age when righteousness and peace would be triumphant. Indeed, it seems to be an innate conviction of mankind that in a world governed by a good and righteous God there must come a time when goodness will prevail in the earth, the time of a" Golden Age."

The Bible Of Kralice, Jaroslav Jan Pelikan

Bachelor of Divinity

When, as is recorded in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, Christ raised wounded hands in blessing over His apostles before He ascended to the Father, He gave the command to "teach all nations." When, as is recorded in the Book of Acts, the promised Paraclete was sent upon the apostles, they "began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."

The Doctrine Of The Church In Thomas Aquinas, Ernest B. Koenker

Bachelor of Divinity

The dogmatic interpretation of the Church as it is found scattered throughout Thomas’ works is a presentation of a spiritual reality, the corpus Christi mysticum and the communio fidelium. The body of this thesis will show that the visible Church is the vehicle of God's supernatural, gracious activity among His creatures.

The Influence Of Plato On Philo, Ephraim Shimoff

Master's Theses

Very little is known about the life of Philo-Judaeus of Alexandria, but from his writings we see that he was one of the most spiritually-minded thinkers of his time. He came from an influencial Jewish family and was trained in Greek as well as in Jewish learning. A citizen of the place which was at once the chief heme of the Jewish Dispersion and the chief censer of Hellenistic culture, he owes his position in the history of religious thought which we find in his voluminous writings, to that remarkable fusion of Judaism and Hellenism. He sought to bring harmony …

Problems In The Pauline Chronology, Christian Adam

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

The picture of Paul’s life gains appreciably in richness when we draw upon the historical references which we find in his own epistles. The epistles of Paul are so autobiographical in content. The frequent mention which he makes of his movements and plans helps us to fill in the gaps which we find in Acts. There are, for instance, in Galatians I and II references to his activities during the period between his conversion and his going to Antioch which at least slightly draw back the veil from this otherwise unknown period.

The Problem Of Vanity In Ecclesiastes, George Thomas

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

In this weary and distracted world, burdened down with sin and sorrow, we naturally asks “Is there anything worth seeking, worth having? anything that will still the cravings of the restless spirit within us, and bring peace and satisfaction to the troubled heart? What should be the chief object of man's desire and pursuit? To what end should life be devoted? Where does man finally go, i.e., what happens to him at death? Are all things really vanity?"

That is the problem which Solomon undertook to solve in Ecclesiastes - he resolves all the foregoing questions under the category of …

Frederich Conrad Dieterich Wyneken 1810-1876, Edward Saleska

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We believe that Wyneken may rightly be called "the nineteenth century patriarch of the American Lutheran Church” in the same measure in which Muehlenberg is recognized as such in the preceding century. It is the life, work and influence of this man of God which speaks to us from the pages of the past in this brief history, speaking as one of the organizers and founders, to his first love, a Church, which, by God's grace, celebrates its first centennial.

The Doctrine Of The Church According To The Ephesians With A Preliminary Disscussion On The Word Ekklesia, Fred T. Eggert

Bachelor of Divinity

All the doctrines of the Church should have a solid foundation, a sedes doctrine, in the Scripture. This is particularly true of the doctrine of the Church. The Epistle to the Ephesians is, without doubt, the best characterization of the Church in all the Scripture. Evidently it was Paul's special purpose to give the whole church a clear picture of itself in this letter.

The History Of The Missouri Synod During The Second Twenty-Five Years Of Its Existence 1872-1897, Roy Suelflow

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

In the year 1872 the Missouri Synod was 25 years old, and it was with mixed emotions in the hearts or its members that this milestone was reached. Most of the first leaders of the Synod were still alive and even active in the ministry at this time. When they looked back not only to the founding of the Synod in 1847 in Chicago but also to the emigration from Germany and settlement in this country, they saw that the Lord had been gracious to them, and that He had led them through numerous difficulties and over many obstacles to …

A Historical Study Of The Exploration Of Utah Valley And The Story Of Fort Utah, Ray C. Colton

Theses and Dissertations

The exploration of Utah Valley and the history of Fort Utah is the story of the conquest and colonization of the American frontier. Discovered in the days of Western expansion, the Valley was identified with the principal factors in the development of the Intermountain West. It heard the chant of the gray robed Franciscan priests, became a favorite haunt of the trail blazing fur trapper and trader, was the site of the ancient rendezvous of the Indian, saw the gold seekers trudge wearily on to California, and with the founding of Fort Utah served as the springboard of Southern Utah …

Hebrews- A Rhetorical Study, Walter A. Jennrich

Bachelor of Divinity

The present study treats of the Epistle to the Hebrews almost purely from the point of view of external form and is preliminary to a more general study of the whole subject of style and language in the New Testament. If it presents many matters of detail that are more or less tedious and call for patience one must bear in mind that it is only by the examination of details that one may come to a reasonably safe conclusion about principles. Even a cursory study of the works of literary critics will demonstrate the necessity of the warning that …
